Simple RSS feed tracking: Open Source Feedburner #5727
Comments
News: since feedburner is dead, Piwik could step up as the Open Source Feedburner! We could get inspiration from this code: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-feed-statistics/screenshots/ |
Feed Analytics

Someone could reverse engineer the extended feed script for Wordpress - https://github.com/WPPlugins/wordpress-feed-statistics |
Any ideas or changes in this issue? By the way: do we have a possibility to read the complete 'User Agent' like the web-server do? Or does Matomo only get predefined parts (like OS, Browser etc.)? |
@hermann77 Matomo uses https://github.com/matomo-org/device-detector to parse the useragent. But the useragent isn't stored in the database. |
This ticket is more than 10 years old now. Does anyone know of proceedings concerning tracking downloads of podcasts? |
@moritzmetz As downloads from podcasts are requested directly from the webserver, the simplest way to "track" those in Matomo is using log importing. See https://matomo.org/guide/tracking-data/import-server-logs/ |
Piwik could integrate an “open source feedburner” that would be a proxy between the original feed URL and the visitor. This proxy could then track data about visitors, what articles are clicked on, etc.
Building such a set of features is not easy, as the code has to deal with lots of edge cases in feed parsing (lots of rss/atom feeds are missing fields, incorrectly formatted, etc.).
We could
- At first provide only the number of subscribers, by parsing the http fields which contain the count of subscribers for each caller
- Later in V2, enhance the code to also parse the feeds and track clicks on links.
